Do we have to be serious 24/7 and keep a perfect, holy checklist? Join Chip for the surprising answer.Defining the Holiness of God:“We know nothing like the divine holiness. It stands apart, unique, unapproachable, incomprehensible and unattainable. The natural man is blind to it.

From the massive gender gaps in clinical research to the misunderstood role of hormonal rhythms, this talk challenges nearly every conventional health assumption about women's physiology. You'll learn how the female biological rhythm affects everything from metabolism to cognition—and why the missing link in women's health isn't just about hormones, but about data, design, and decades of neglect.     5 KEY TAKEAWAYS   • The Research Gap Is Real—and Deep Women were banned from clinical research until 1993, and even today remain underrepresented, especially in areas like drug trials, cardiovascular studies, and brain health.   • Bikini Medicine Isn't Enough Most “women's health” research still focuses narrowly on reproductive organs, ignoring how sex hormones impact the brain, immune system, metabolism, and more.   • The Female Biological Rhythm Is NOT 24 Hours Unlike men, women operate on a ~28-day hormonal rhythm—shifting cognition, metabolism, stress response, and energy throughout four distinct phases.   • Health Advice That Ignores Hormones Can Be Harmful Popular trends like intermittent fasting or high-intensity training may work well for men but can backfire for women if not timed to their hormonal cycle.   • Personalized, Phase-Based Health Is the Future Tracking one's own biological rhythm and learning phase-specific strategies for supplements, sleep, nutrition, and stress is the most empowering step women can take now.       Want to Learn How to Support Women's Health Holistically?

From the trauma of that day to more recent shocks like political violence at home, the team examines how terrorism has evolved but remains a persistent threat, both domestically and abroad. They share personal experiences from 9/11 and the years that followed, the unity it inspired, and the lessons Americans cannot afford to forget.But if terrorism once defined an era, what will define the next? Will it be great power competition, a resurgent Russia, technology-driven threats, or growing disunity at home?

    How do you move from taking whatever business you can get to building a purpose-driven, aligned client base? The right-fit client base fuels not only revenue but also passion and long-term fulfilment. In this episode of The Agency Blueprint, we discuss how agency owners can stop chasing clients and start choosing them. We also explain why it's time to stop being a generalist trying to appeal to everyone and take a bold positioning, even if it means turning some people away. Don't miss this episode to learn about the power of authentic storytelling to your audience, which builds connection and trust! Key Questions: [02:14] Who is your true Ideal Client Profile, and what do they really care about? [04:20] Can you name a client you didn't enjoy working with? Why? [05:36] Are you afraid of repelling potential clients by taking a clear stand in your messaging? [11:44] Where does your ideal client actually spend their time, and are you showing up there? [17:40] Can your story of failure help someone avoid the same mistake? What You'll Discover: [02:14] Defining your Ideal Client Profile (ICP): demographics, psychographics, buying triggers, and decision-making structures. [04:20] Why defining who you don't like working with can often be more revealing than listing who you do. [05:36] Why taking a strong position in your messaging, even at a cost, makes you magnetic to the right clients. [06:55] Understanding how your ideal client makes buying decisions helps you mirror their process and build trust faster.

    The Unseen Force That Controls 95% of Your Life   This episode of the Rich Mind Podcast is a deep dive into one of the most powerful and invisible forces shaping our lives: our paradigms. Inspired by the teachings of the late Bob Proctor, Randy and his daughter Adrienne discuss how these deep-seated mental programs, or "software," installed in us since childhood, control our thoughts, feelings, and actions. They explore how our paradigms act as a filter, often creating self-imposed limitations and keeping us stuck. The conversation provides practical insights into how to become aware of your own paradigm, how to challenge the "black and white" thinking it creates, and why understanding this concept is the key to creating a life of your own design, rather than one dictated by old programming.   Key Takeaways:   A paradigm is like the software that runs your life; it's a collection of habits and beliefs programmed into your subconscious mind from a young age. Most of our struggles in finances, relationships, and health are not due to external factors, but are results generated by our internal paradigm. Society often teaches us in absolutes ("right vs. wrong," "good vs. bad"), which reinforces a rigid paradigm and makes it difficult to see the "gray" areas of life. Our triggers are often the paradigm's defense mechanism, activating past beliefs ("I'm not smart enough," "I'm not good enough") to keep us in our comfort zone. You can begin to change your paradigm by questioning your automatic thoughts and separating your identity from your feelings (e.g., saying "I am feeling frustrated" instead of "I am frustrated"). The phrase "What's meant for me will find me, and anything else is none of my business" is a powerful tool to release the need for external validation and stay focused on your own path. Consistent practices like journaling or recording voice memos are crucial tools for getting your subconscious thoughts out, observing them objectively, and identifying the patterns of your paradigm.   Questions Answered in This Episode:   What is a paradigm and how does it control your life? How are our paradigms formed in childhood? How does your paradigm keep you from seeing opportunities and achieving your goals? What does it mean to break free from "black and white" thinking? How are our emotional triggers connected to our deep-seated paradigms? What are "I am" statements and how can they reinforce or change your paradigm? How can you stop caring about what other people think of you? What are practical, daily actions you can take to become aware of and start changing your paradigm?   Key People, Concepts, & Terms:   People: Randy Wilson, Adrienne Wilson, Bob Proctor, David Neagle.

    In this episode of Science of Reading: The Podcast, Susan Lambert is joined by Wesley Hoover, a psycholinguist at the University of Texas at Austin, to discuss the Simple View of Reading and how it can serve as the basis for our understanding of comprehension. Wesley digs into all the complexities of this model—which is only simple at a high level—including the meaning of language comprehension vs. reading comprehension, the impact of word recognition, and using the simple view to identify struggling students. He'll even address the limitations of the simple view of reading, untangle common misconceptions, and give you tools for assessing the value of any model for reading that you might encounter.Show notes: Submit your questions on comprehension! Access free, high-quality resources at our brand-new, companion professional learning page: http://amplify.com/science-of-reading/professional-learning  Resources:Listen: Science of Reading Essentials: ComprehensionRead: The Primacy of Science in Communicating Advances in the Science of ReadingJoin our community Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/scienceofreadingConnect with Susan Lambert: https://www.linkedin.com/in/susan-lambert-edd-b1512761/Check out Season 2 of the Beyond My Years podcast at.amplify.com/bmy Quotes:"Language comprehension is unbounded… the knowledge of the world and being able to express the knowledge of the world in language—that's always a key difficulty you work on for your entire life.” —Wesley Hoover, Ph.D. “If you're a teacher thinking about language comprehension, whatever time you devote to helping people understand language, if you can be effective in doing that, you'll never waste a kid's time.” —Wesley Hoover, Ph.D. "To be a reader, you have to be good at two things: word recognition and language comprehension.

    Teachhoops.com⁠ ⁠WintheSeason.com⁠ Setting clear expectations and defining specific roles for an assistant basketball coach is one of the most critical, yet often overlooked, aspects of building a successful program. Without a well-defined blueprint, a coaching staff can suffer from overlapping responsibilities, miscommunication, and a lack of accountability, which ultimately trickles down to the players on the court. A head coach must clearly delineate duties, empowering assistants by giving them ownership over specific areas. This could range from being the defensive coordinator and primary scout for upcoming opponents to specializing in post-player development. When assistants understand their exact contributions and how they fit into the larger vision, they can operate with confidence and efficiency, creating a cohesive and powerful leadership unit. The process of setting these expectations should be a collaborative dialogue, not a top-down directive. Key areas to define include on-court responsibilities, such as which coach leads specific drills or focuses on a particular position group (guards, wings, or bigs). Off-court duties are just as crucial and must be explicitly assigned, including opponent scouting, film breakdown, recruiting assignments, managing academic progress, and coordinating travel logistics. Furthermore, establishing protocols for communication is paramount. Defining when and how an assistant should provide input—whether during practice, in coaches' meetings, or during halftime adjustments—ensures that valuable insights are shared constructively without undermining the head coach's authority during critical moments. This structured approach not only maximizes the unique skills of each staff member but also fosters a culture of trust and synergy essential for winning championships. ⁠Dr Dish Website⁠ ⁠CoachingYouthHoops.com⁠ ⁠https://forms.gle/kQ8zyxgfqwUA3ChU7⁠ ⁠Coach Collins Coaching Store⁠ Check out.  [Teachhoops.com](⁠https://teachhoops.com/⁠) 14 day Free Trial Youth Basketball Coaches Podcast Apple link: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/coaching-youth-hoops/id1619185302⁠ Spotify link: ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/0g8yYhAfztndxT1FZ4OI3A⁠ ⁠Funnel Down Defense Podcast⁠ ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/funnel-down-defense/id1593734011⁠ Want More ⁠Funnel Down Defense⁠ ⁠https://coachcollins.podia.com/funnel-down-defense⁠ [Facebook Group .

    Clinical psychologist Alexis Abernethy explores burnout, Sabbath rest, and resilience—reframing rest as spiritual practice for individuals and communities.“For me, it's knowing that the Lord has made me as much to work as much to be and to be still and know that he is God.”On this episode, clinical psychologist Alexis Abernethy (Fuller Seminary) joins Macie Bridge to discuss burnout, Sabbath, worship, mental health, and resilience in the life of the church. Defining burnout through its dimensions of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced sense of accomplishment, Abernethy reflects on how church life can intensify these dynamics even as it seeks to heal them. Drawing from scripture, theology, psychology, and her own experience in the Black church and academic worlds, she reorients us to Sabbath as more than self-care: a sacred practice of being still before God. Sabbath, she argues, is not a quick fix but a preventive rhythm that sustains resilience in leaders and congregations alike. Along the way, she points to the necessity of modeling rest, the impact of daily and weekly spiritual rhythms, and the communal posture that makes Sabbath transformative.Episode Highlights“For me, it's knowing that the Lord has made me as much to work as much to be and to be still and know that he is God.”“Often people have overextended themselves in face of crises, other circumstances over a period of time, and it's just not really sustainable, frankly, for anyone.”“We act as if working hard and excessively is dutiful and really what the Lord wants—but that's not what He wants.”“When you are still with the Lord, you look different when you're active.”“Sabbath rest allows you to literally catch your own breath, but also then be able to see what the congregation needs.”Helpful Links and ResourcesThat Their Work Will Be a Joy, Kurt Frederickson & Cameron LeeHoward Thurman, Meditations of the HeartEmily Dickinson, “Some Keep the Sabbath” (Poetry Foundation)About Alexis AbernethyAlexis Abernethy is a clinical psychologist and professor in the School of Psychology & Marriage and Family Therapy at Fuller Seminary.

    In this episode, Julie is ravenous to talk to Savannah about the term and meaning of being a trans egg. Also called being a “baby trans”, cracking open your egg is akin to finally recognizing and accepting your gender expansiveness in whatever way you were meant to show up in the world. The term can be both positive and negative, most notably when others start telling you that you are going to crack soon and what that means for you (without knowing your full story). The shell we crack from can be an enamel of protection, denial, safety, and suppression. But, it's only when we crack the egg open can we begin to see ourselves in our own unique and true light.-----SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“.

    What if everything you've been taught about economic progress is wrong?In this episode, Stacey Edgar — social worker turned social entrepreneur and now executive director of the International Folk Art Market — shares her journey through the “career jungle gym” of the social impact sector. We unpack her concept of artisan economics, a radically human approach to commerce rooted in care, dignity, and connection.From surviving U.S. customs mishaps to rewriting economic theory from a feminist perspective, Stacey challenges the status quo and shows what a purpose-driven economy really looks like — on the ground, in the marketplace, and in our communities.If you've ever wondered whether mission can truly coexist with margin, or how to lead with care in a world of burnouts and bans, this episode is for you.Episode Highlights[00:00] IntroductionChallenging the paradox of progress and introducing artisan economics[02:06] Stacey's Nonlinear PathFrom social work to fair trade founder to nonprofit ED[03:43] Turning $2,000 into a MovementThe surprising spark behind Global Girlfriend[05:35] Lessons from the Early Days“Just ask.” The power of invitation in purpose-driven business[07:30] Teaching Business with PurposeFrom MBA metrics to artisan-led projects across the globe[10:26] Leading a Legacy NonprofitThe cultural shift from founder-led to stakeholder-centered leadership[12:08] Resilience Under PressureWhat happens when “women” becomes a banned word in federal grants[16:27] Building a Purpose-First EconomyStacey's upcoming book and why care must be central to the future of work[20:26] Defining the Culture of CareFrom feminist economics to Bhutan's “gross national happiness”[23:18] The Loneliness of LeadershipWhere Stacey finds strength during tough times[24:35] What's Lighting Her UpAuthentic creativity in a world obsessed with AI and performance[26:19] Digital DisconnectionWhy real person-to-person connection still matters most Notable Quotes“There is no career ladder.

This is the quality of generosity.”“Generosity expresses the simple wish that others should have what they need to make them happy.” -J.I. Packer, Knowing God-Tozer's definition:“The goodness of God is that which disposes Him to be kind, cordial, benevolent, and full of good will toward men.

    On this episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different, we welcome back marketing leader and author Laura Ries for the conclusion of their two-part conversation. If you haven't listened to part 1 or would like to remind yourself where we left off, you can check it out here for a quick recap (FYD 405).  Laura shares insights from her new book, The Strategic Enemy, emphasizing the importance of defining what your brand stands against. The discussion covers lessons from her father Jack Trout's legacy, the power of positioning, and the role of visual storytelling in marketing. Laura has been on the frontlines of marketing for decades, carrying on the legacy of her father, Al Ries, and pushing the boundaries of positioning with her own punchy perspective. So what's the real difference-maker in a market crowding with noise, AI, and everyone vying for a sliver of attention? It's not merely being seen. It's being distinct, thanks to the power of strategic opposition. Join us as we get into it and more with Laura Ries. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   Opposition over Superiority Laura puts it in plain English: “The mind understands opposition faster than superiority.” Translation? If you want people to quickly get why they should care, you have to tell them what you're not. Chick-fil-A isn't just for chicken lovers, it's for people who are tired of burgers. In-N-Out doesn't bother with chicken or vegan burgers; they double down on a simple, hyper-focused menu that stakes out clear territory against the bells and whistles of modern fast food. When brands define WHO or WHAT they're battling, it's easier for us to pick sides. Defining an “enemy” isn't about trash talk, it's about clarity. It sharpens what your business stands for, attracts loyal fans, and carves out space the competition can't touch.   Laura Ries on Finding Your Horse & Riding It This goes deeper than companies. The idea holds for personal brands, careers, even college choices. Laura recalls her father's (now out-of-print) classic “Horse Sense”: don't desperately try to do everything yourself; align yourself with the right “horse” (be it a category, a company, a person) and let synergy do the work. In a world of endless new tech and shifting industries, picking the right vehicle can be everything.   Stop Chasing Attention. Start Picking Fights (the Smart Way) At the end of the day, nobody cares about your journey just for the sake of it. They care about how you make THEM matter, how you help them win THEIR battles, or fight an enemy they find worth taking down. So, next time you're tempted to “go viral,” ask yourself: Are you actually useful, or just noisy? Have you defined your enemy? Because if your brand (or your career) doesn't stand against something, it's just floating in the middle… and nobody roots for the middle. Laura's full-throttle approach: get clear, get focused, and don't be shy about drawing a line in the sand. To hear more from Laura Ries and her thoughts on Strategic Opposition, download and listen to this episode.    Bio Laura Ries is a leading marketing strategist, best-selling author, and global keynote speaker. She is the co-author of several influential books on branding, including The 22 Immutable Laws of Branding and The Fall of Advertising & the Rise of PR written with her late father and legendary positioning pioneer, Al Ries. Her new book The Strategic Enemy: How to Build & Position a Brand Worth Fighting For will be published in September 2025 by Wiley. As chairwoman of RIES, the consulting firm she founded with Al, Laura has advised Fortune 500 companies and startups alike on building powerful, enduring brands.

    What fuels a business? It all starts with the dream. In this episode, we look at lessons from the legendary Michael E. Gerber, author of The E-Myth Revisited, who first championed the idea that entrepreneurs must cultivate their dream before anything else. From there, we explore why emotion is the spiritual energy behind every great business, movement, or mission. Without it, even brilliant ideas and top teams fall flat. With it, you attract missionaries instead of mercenaries—people who believe in your vision and help you build something that lasts. Defining a higher purpose is an overlooked advantage. Bring that spiritual dimension into your company and your people can put a small dent in the universe. --- Bring in the Spiritual Dimension Hi everyone. Today I want to share something really special. I recently had the honor on interviewing the great Michael Gerber, yes, the author of The E-Myth Revisited on my podcast. Now, Michael is close to 89 years old, but let me tell you, he's still sharp as a samurai's blade. During our conversation, Michael emphasized just how important it is for every entrepreneur to cultivate their dream. Because the dream, it fuels your passion for the business. And once it's alive, it becomes the energy behind everything else. Your role as a thinker, a storyteller, a leader, a designer, a builder, a launcher, and ultimately a grower. It really hit me. All of this is about tapping into one thing, emotion. Think about it. You can have brilliant ideas, unique assets, and a team of full of A-players. But without emotion, nothing happens. Emotion is the fuel in the tank of your business. And doesn't that sound familiar? Every great religion, every movement, every political ideology in history, what did they all do? They tapped into the spiritual power of emotion to rally people. So why would it be any different in a business? Here's the real question. Do you want mercenaries or missionaries helping you to grow your business? If it's the latter, then you need a mission that excites you and inspires your people. The good news? Every company already has a seed of a great mission inside it. At Summit OS®, we call this the Company Why™. And here's the thing: it's not about inventing it—it's about unearthing it, polishing it, and sharing it boldly. Let me give you a few powerful examples. “Liberate people from unhealthy and unpleasant tasks”. That's the 'Why' of Combi Packaging Systems. A maker of packaging machines that help people not have to climb high ladders or work in dusty and steamy places. “Facilitate people's independence and self-determination”. That's the 'Why' of RackN that manages physical server parks. “Transform people to help fulfill their potential and enjoy a better social life”. That's the 'Why' of Eos Rejuvenation, a facial plastic surgery in Los Angeles. And finally, “Help entrepreneurs reach their Ideal Lives while creating a positive impact”. That's our very own 'Why' at Summit OS Group. Defining a higher purpose is the number one missed opportunity for business owners, and yet it's one of the most powerful ways to create excitement, pride, attract top talent, and spark creativity in your business. So don't forget to bring that spiritual dimension into your company because when you do, your people will begin to put a small dent in the universe. If you'd like to dive deeper, check out SummitOS.co for more videos on this concept. And until next time, keep growing.

Sheyla shares her journey into publishing, her approach to championing authors, and the key questions every writer should ask before signing with an agent.Guest Bio: Sheyla Knigge is a literary agent at Highline Literary Collective with nearly two years of experience representing authors and selling books. A lifelong reader who entered agenting during the pandemic, she quickly proved her eye for marketable stories—discovering Where the Dark Stems Still by A.B. Poranek, which became a six-week New York Times bestseller. She now represents 25 clients across genres and is known for her transparency, passion for storytelling, and dedication to uplifting diverse voices.Key Discussion Points:Origin story: how Sheyla transitioned from project management to slush-pile reader to full-time agent.Defining strong partnerships: the importance of open communication, trust, and transparency in the agent-author relationship.Red flags in queries: why writing outside one's lived experience without sensitivity can be problematic, and how Sheyla evaluates submissions.Crucial questions for writers: why asking about an agent's support system and mentorship is essential before signing.When to walk away: how gut checks, excitement about revisions, and true alignment matter more than a “big name.”Wish list: Sheyla's dream project—“murderous cheerleaders,” a mashup of Bring It On meets I Know What You Did Last Summer.Conclusion: Sheyla Knigge reminds writers that publishing is about partnership, not desperation. Choosing the right agent means prioritizing communication, shared vision, and mutual growth over prestige. Her advice encourages authors to seek relationships that set their creative souls on fire, because the right story—and the right fit—will always find its way to readers.Mentioned Links:Highline Literary CollectiveSheyla Knigge on Instagram Support the show Visit the WebsiteWriters with Wrinkles Link Tree for socials and more!
